that kayode's 4th amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures was violated when the city took away his car. he argued that his client's inability to pay off his parking tickets didn't justify the city's actions, and as a result, u-s district court judge jeffrey white issued a preliminary injunction - temporarily ordering the city to return his car. and as you can imagine, for someone who's car is an integral part of their life, today was definitely a day to celebrate.

march 5th, the city towed and impounded his car because he had accumulated a total of thirty unpaid parking tickets. now he was able to get his car back after his lawyer filed a claim against the city - alleging the city violated kayode's 4th amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. his attorney - jude pond - argued that his client's inability to pay off his parking tickets didn't justify the city's actions, and as a result, u-s district court judge jeffrey white issued a preliminary injunction - temporarily ordering the city to return his car. and as you can imagine, like many others in the city, for someone who's car is an integral part of their life, today was definitely a day to smile about.

isn't the end of the road for kayode's case. he still has a case pending against the city in federal court to have the city change its laws regarding repayment of parking tickets, (sanaz) but he said that while he has his car, he plans on going back to working for uber eats.
